Who Are the Best Couples in the Bible?

There are many couples in the Bible; However, not all of them are examples of good couples. The Bible tells of true events, so it is important to remember that no couple is perfect, just as no couple in today’s world is perfect.

Couples should strive to follow Jesus Christ and glorify Him in their relationships, and here are a few couples who sought this in their relationships. While this list is limited, it does not include all couples who served God in their relationship.

Ruth and Boaz in the Bible

One of the best couples in the Bible is Ruth and Boaz. Their love story is told in the book of Ruth. Ruth’s husband had died and she was now traveling with her mother-in-law, Naomi. Ruth refused to return to her homeland of Moab to stay with Naomi (Ruth 1:16).

Naomi and Ruth travel to Bethlehem, where Ruth begins working as a picker in the fields. Bo Ezz was a rich man who owned that farm. Bo-Ezz is kind to Ruth and asks his other workers to leave some extra grain for Ruth and Naomi so that they have more food (Ruth 2:16).

When Naomi discovers that Ruth is working on Bo-Ezz’s farm, she tells her that Bo-Ezz is a “kin-sacrifice”. This is the person who has a relationship with him and is responsible for helping the relative in need.

Ruth tells Booz that she needs a kinsman ransomer and he agrees. According to this contract, Bo Ezz would also marry Ruth. There was a man who was relatively closer to Ruth and could have played this role for Ruth, but she refused (Ruth 4:1-10).

Because this man refused to be Ruth’s kinsman redeemer, Bu Ezz was able to marry Ruth and become her kinsman redeemer.

Ruth and Bu Ezz get married and have a son whom they name Obed. Through the line of Ruth and Boaz, we reach King David and later Jesus Christ. From the relationship between Ruth and Bo Ezz, we see a beautiful picture of how two people love each other.

Bo Ezz was compassionate, kind and caring towards Ruth, and she also respected and loved him. Both of them were loyal, caring and loved each other, which is what is needed in a romantic relationship.

Bo Ezz could reject Ruth; However, this was not in his nature. He was a kind and caring man who truly loved God and loved Ruth.

This is why it is important for couples to center their relationships on Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ is not the foundation of the relationship, the relationship will fail. If you are looking for a relationship with someone, make sure they are also a believer who loves God.

If they are not believers, it will not be a good marriage, because they will not follow the words of God, nor will they even believe in God. Try to follow the example of Ruth and Boaz and look for someone who truly loves Jesus Christ.

Mary and Joseph in the Bible

Another of the best couples in the Bible is Mary and Joseph. Mary and Joseph are found in the New Testament and they are the earthly parents of Jesus Christ. Maryam was a young woman when she got engaged to Yusuf. She finds out from the angel Gabriel that she is pregnant (Luke 1:26-38).

This pregnancy was supernatural because Mary was a virgin. Mary was a virgin, yet she was pregnant with Christ. When Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant, he wanted to secretly divorce her (Matthew 1:19).

She didn’t want to expose him to public scandal for what she thought had happened. In those days, Joseph could have even killed him, but he doesn’t. This shows us Joseph’s kind and compassionate character.

After Joseph thinks about divorcing Mary, an angel comes to him in a dream and says: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from is the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you must call his name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:20b-21). Joseph did as the angel told him and took Mary home as his wife (Matthew 1:24).

Joseph and Mary travel together during the census, and Joseph is a faithful husband to Mary. He is with Mary during the birth of Christ and helps her in raising Jesus. Joseph also trained Jesus in his carpentry trade, which shows his caring attitude toward his son.

Aquila and Priscilla in the Bible

Aquila and Priscilla are also one of the best couples in the Bible and are found in the New Testament. They are the Jews found in the book of Acts. Like Paul, they were tent dwellers and that is how they met Paul.

Aquila and Priscilla were already married when they met Paul, and Paul often stated that they encouraged him and his ministry. In fact, in many of his letters, he specifically mentions them (Romans 16:3-4; 2 Timothy 4:19).

Priscilla is not a passive wife, for she was a teacher of new believers. Aquila supported his wife in this way and never condemned her for teaching people instead of herself.

Aquila and Priscilla had a church in their house and they often tried to help, teach and disciple the believers.

Like many of the couples mentioned here, their relationship centered on Jesus Christ. Through their faith in Christ, their relationship grew stronger and grew closer in the process.

As we can see, Aquila and Priscilla are a couple that we can look at as a divine relationship. They respected each other and treated each other as God intended for them. Aquila could despise his wife for teaching, but she does not object and supports his teaching.

Likewise, wives today need not be passive or think they have no role to play in serving the church. Priscilla shows us that one can be married and serve the church at the same time, helping new believers learn more about Jesus.

4. Jesus and the Church in the Bible

The last relationship we need to discuss in the Bible is the relationship between Jesus Christ and the church. While this is not an earthly couple relationship, it is a relationship that we all have with God.

Jesus Christ loves the church and all marriages, couples and relationships should reflect the love that Jesus Christ has for the church (Ephesians 5:25-33). This means that husbands are to love their wives as Jesus Christ loves the church—to respect and protect their wives.

A husband should never harm, abuse or mistreat his wife. This is against God’s providence for marriage and His will that only love, respect, kindness and gentleness exist in marriage.

We all become part of the Church when we accept Christ. One day in the future, the marriage of the Lamb will take place and we, as the bride of Christ, will enter it (Ephesians 5:27; Revelation 19:1-14).
